It’s ready to explore anywhere from rugged commutes to light singletrack with a rugged aluminium frame, bump-smoothing SR Suntour suspension fork and Shimano CUES 10-speed shifting that’s ultra-durable and smooth. The Powerfly+ delivers a full-assist ride that’s as versatile as it is powerful. Bosch’s Performance Line CX motor delivers plenty of torque for steep, punchy climbs and is easy to control with the Purion 200 remote. You can customise it in the eBike Flow app. Its RIB 2.0 removable integrated battery is easy to remove for travel and storage, and it’s virtually rattle-free while you ride. Want even more boost? With the Bosch e-Bike Flow app, you can increase torque to 100 Nm and peak power up to 750 W. It’s compatible with Bosch Power More booster batteries, and you can even upgrade the 600 Wh battery for a bigger 800 Wh option to get way out there.

Troubleshooting
Motor not providing assistance
Ensure the battery is charged and properly seated. Check that the system is turned on via the Purion 200 remote. Verify that the speed sensor is correctly positioned and unobstructed.
Brakes feel weak or noisy
Check the brake pads for wear and clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure the brake levers are not sticking and that the hydraulic system has no leaks. Professional adjustment may be needed if issues persist.
Shifting is rough or inaccurate
Inspect the rear derailleur for any bends or damage. Check cable tension and adjust if necessary. Ensure the chain and cassette are clean and lubricated.
Battery not charging
Verify the charger is plugged in correctly and the power outlet is functional. Ensure the battery contacts are clean. Try a different charger if available, or contact support.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Excellent value for an electric mountain bike with a Bosch motor.
Versatile for both commuting and light off-road trails.
Customizable power output via the Bosch eBike Flow app.
Easy battery removal for charging and storage.
Cons
Suspension travel (120mm) is best suited for light trails, not aggressive downhill.
Wired tire bead may be less resilient than tubeless setups.
Internal routing can make some maintenance tasks more complex.
Base battery size (600 Wh) may be limiting for very long rides without an upgrade.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Unpack the bike carefully. Ensure the handlebar is securely attached and properly aligned. Install pedals according to the manufacturer's instructions (left pedal is reverse-threaded). Charge the Bosch battery fully before the first ride. Consult the Bosch manual for initial motor system setup and pairing with the eBike Flow app.
Compatibility: This bike is compatible with the Bosch ecosystem, including the eBike Flow app and Bosch Power More booster batteries. It uses standard 12mm thru-axles front and rear and a tapered head tube. The frame has internal routing for clean cable management.
Care: Regularly clean the bike, especially after riding in wet or muddy conditions. Use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid high-pressure washers. Keep the chain lubricated with appropriate bike chain lubricant. Check tire pressure regularly. The SR Suntour fork can be maintained by cleaning the stanchions and ensuring the lockout mechanism functions correctly. The RIB 2.0 battery should be removed for long-term storage and kept in a dry, temperate environment.
